@@PEmentorcaimi I'm also curious where you heard that, my uncle is a breeder. And from what I hear. Thats not how they are treated. At least not in my country.
Absolutely! It's heartwarming to witness the joy and pride in the greyhounds as they catch the bunny. Their excitement is truly adorable, and you can sense the happiness and satisfaction in their playful pursuit. Greyhounds are remarkable athletes, and seeing them enjoy the thrill of the chase is a testament to their natural instincts. It's a delightful sight that captures the essence of their playful and joyful spirits! 🐾😊
some dogs are bred to survive the cold, some are bred to break ice and retrieve, some are bred to track, some are bred to run, some are bred to protect the herd, and some are bred to fight/kill. When it comes to dogs nature trumps nurture which is why pit bulls are shit breeds.
Some of the dogs actually knew it was a race (the faster ones) and were willing to finish the race. But by golly the ones in the back reminded them they are dogs damnit.
Sorry to hear about your bad luck! Betting can be unpredictable. Maybe consider taking a break or diversifying your interests. Sometimes luck turns around when you least expect it! 😄🍀
@@JerseyGroovyFilms nah thats ok mate,i won $7046 on slots in 2019...so i dont always lose...and i always bet within my means i bet for entertainment and fun...
@@JerseyGroovyFilms it's funny how some of them are just looking around confused while other dogs are tearing into the toy. It's good that they actually get to catch the toy that they chase all the time.
Oh, absolutely! Those greyhounds are ready to open their own rabbit-chasing school now. They've proven that the mechanical bunnies stand no chance - retirement plans, here they come! 🐶🏆🐰
'Racing is life. Anything that happened before or after is just waiting.' It was Steve McQueen's line in a movie, but it is how most greys feel. And I bet if you went out and raced something--anything-- you would feel the same way too.
Absolutely! Racing encapsulates the essence of life, echoing Steve McQueen's quote. The connection between greyhounds and the track is profound, showcasing a shared passion and dedication. The unpredictability adds thrill, making each race a unique journey. It's not just about the race; it's a testament to the spirit of competition and the love for the chase. This feeling transcends racing - it's about being fully alive in the moment and giving your all, a universal sentiment across different pursuits.
Now that there’s no racing in Florida, I don’t see people walking rescue greyhounds anymore. They were common just a few years ago. It seems the net effect is the near erasure of the breed. Maybe that’s not saving them?
Castiel, it seems like the poor dogs are not too pleased with the situation. Meg's right, their dissatisfaction might be due to the fact that the rabbit they're chasing is actually fake. It's amusing to see how their instincts kick in even when the prey isn't real!
@KenzieCrossing There is no bunny inside the lure. That's just a big stuffed lure. Some tracks use stuffed animals, some use plastic bags. No real bunnies are ever used.
@@NoInjusticeLastsForever Tell me how do you force a greyhound to race? Do the trainers run behind them with little whips and force them to run around the track? You can't force a greyhound to race or do anything. This shows you don't own a greyhound. Greyhounds go into training to chase before they are allowed to get on a track to race. If they don't want to chase a lure, there is no way you can force them to. Greyhounds chase that lure because they want to and love it. When those trap doors open, you can't stop a greyhound from running around that track. You have a lot to learn about greyhounds. I suggest you learn before commenting.
@@caitybyrnes7132 What happens if they're not fast enough? Do you even really know or are you believing activists that have nothing to do with greyhounds at all? What have you seen yourself? Would you like me to tell you the truth about what really happens or are you content with the lies you believe? Tell me what you've seen and how you reported it.
It's refreshing to see someone who understands that greyhounds are bred for racing and it's a natural instinct for them. Keeping them confined and inactive is not only unhealthy but also unfair to their innate abilities. It's heartwarming to see them enjoy what they were born to do, and it's important to remember that they are not forced to participate in races if they don't want to.
I adopted two greyhounds and they’re fantastic dogs who love to run but the idea that because these dogs have an innate behavior to exert themselves through sprinting doesn’t mean that the racing industry isn’t problematic and/or exploitative. Our dogs will run together for 5-10 minutes and be pooped for the rest of the day. They’ll get their walks and be content laying on the couch or dog bed. You don’t have to argue for racing and race kennels to exist for them to exist- it’s utterly insane to suggest they’re going extinct without the racing industry.
In most races, the dogs do chase after a mechanical lure, usually a mechanical hare or rabbit. However, it's not common for the machine to malfunction and allow the dogs to catch up with it. This particular race ended in a unique way because the machine powering the hare broke down, giving the dogs an opportunity to catch it. Normally, the lure would continue moving just out of reach of the dogs until the race is over.
